Dr. Phil on Britney: She Is in "Dire Need" of Help

31. So if he's a licensed doctor what is he doing after speaking to someone in confidence breaking every privacy and HIPPA law by indicating "she needs help"? Ah, I forgot. He is the Oprah version of medical professional.

Maybe things have been a little slow for him these days...

32. If Dr. Phil had any real concern for this out of control wacko, he would ensure that it be done in private. By doing a show on this selfish wench, he is only adding to her trouble and feeding the media sharks.

I've got an idea!

Let Dr. Phil put Britney, Paris, Lindsey and all the other spoiled rich kids in the Dr. Phil house and fill it with booze and drugs. Whoever walks out alive, gets a star on the sidewalk in Hollywood...

33. Yeah he probably walked her to her car begging for her to go on his show!

34. When are y'all gonna get it? She's dumber than a box of rocks, she's genetically unstable, her mammy pushed her into the limelight to make Mommy Spears rich, and the whole fracking sorry mess is becoming a bigger public spectacle than Anna Nicole.

KFed was the dumbass who dumped the live loads and he's man enough to take on responsible parenting now that the fun is over.

The odds are this ends in Brit's early death just like Anna Nicole.

35. Britney obviously has a mental disorder...it's not just about a party girl having fun or acting stupid.
There is a lot of evidence now that she is bipolar or suffering from some other mental disorder. According to CNN this morning, her drug tests were negative after she was submitted to the hospital this time.
She is obviously having some sort of mental breakdown or issue, which thousands suffer from each day...except in her case, every second of her breakdown is taped for our viewing pleasure...so we can watch and criticize.

36. Dr. Phil is NOT a doctor

He also should not be revealing private conversations with Britney.

He also is obnoxious, his voice is grating, and he's a fame hound. Despicable how he's chasing her for a tv appearance under the guise of helping. If he truly wanted to help, he'd quietly see her, not issue press releases, and find her a real, helpful doctor - if such a doctor exists in this town of 90210 fame whores.

Also, Cedars Sinai violates privacy laws.

37. I don't get this ....did someone fom the Spears family invite Dr. Phil? Or dd he just show up on his own for a photo-op ...I mean, to help? Like his public statements help matters any.

Dr Phil needs a good therapist.

39. She won't stop until she kills someone else or herself. The girl is a nut case right now. Throwing a fit to get out is disgusting and I hope the hospital is held responsible for what she does next. They did not follow procedure at the hospital. Where is the evidence that she is bipolar? Maybe she is just a spoiled celebrity who is use to getting her way.

40. He is a publicity whore just like Britney. They make a good pair. Pair of nothings.

41. Just WHO GAVE DR. CHARLATAN permission to visit Britney Spears? I used to think Cedars had an excellent reputation but would really hesitate before recommending this place to anyone now after this. Dr. Phil IS NOT HER ATTENDING PHYSICIAN, is TOTALLY UNETHICAL IMO, and one would think he would be refused admittance to a locked facililty and to someone on a hold when he has NO BUSINESS being there other than for his self-serving motives.

BOYCOTT DR. PHIL and do not buy his books. This quack and snake-oil salesman should be booted off TV and put on the shelf along with the other phony Oprah Winfrey supported (the guy who wrote a book about alcoholism and was proved to be a fake). Dr. Phil is the real proof of Oprah's bad judgement.

Cedars almost killed two babies recently due to a medication mixup and made a huge mixup with some blood some years ago.

42. ...kelli...that is my point...why did he say that on the air?????...why do we even know that???...if he really cared deep down he wouldn't be broadcasting it to tens of millions around the world!!!....action speaks louder than words , and it seems to me he is keeping the world up to date this very second, not discreet in my books!!!....he may ship her off somewhere quietly now, but trust me cameras will be poking there creepy lenses at one point from his production company!!!....I'm going to walmart now!!! hahahaha....cy ltr!! heehee

43. I think Dr Philth is a bigger whore than Brittney. As usual, he'll cure her in 44 mins, between commercials.

44. Seriously, this is her last resort. I think that he can help her, but she has to show up and put some effort into it and all those ppl who get paid off her backside have to cut the bs and stop enabling and cow towing to her !

45.

This is a classic case of radical neoliberal perversion acting up - Phil & Brit & no one really cares - all about the kids.
